The PlayStation Vita is still severely lacking new, great games. Sure we've got several cool new indie titles headed its way, but what about big titles that can possibly save the system? NIS' Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy may not be that big title, but can it add itself to the short list of awesome Vita games?

Open world RPG's are huge in the game industry today. Often when talking about new video games, we discuss the game's content, size of the game world, graphics, and, of course, its replay-ability. CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the newest edition to the popular Witcher series. There has been a ridiculous amount of hype centered around this game, but can the Witcher 3 reach or surpass its lofty expectations?

Rejoice, Souls fans, because Bloodborne is finally here! From Software, the company that gave gamers everywhere a need to take anger management classes, returns with an all-new controller busting, brain stumping, make-you-yell-at-your-TV PlayStation 4 exclusive. Bloodborne isn't another Souls game but, rather, a very similar one especially for Dark Souls and Demon Souls veterans. If you are new to the series this game provides a much needed challenge that many games nowadays are missing.

When I first saw Ori and the Blind Forest at E3 2014, it looked like a really beautiful indie platformer with standard gameplay. Everything pointed to it being one of those games that get by on great presentation and possibly a good story, but no real gameplay. I am happy to say this isn't the case. Ori and the Blind Forest is a wonderful “Metroidvania” style platformer that is up there with Gaucamelee and Symphony of the Night.

The PlayStation 3 is nearing the end of its lifespan with the next generation of consoles already a year old. In the PS3's catalog, you'll find many great games that will make you want to keep it around for years to come. NIS's The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is a brand new dungeon crawler that's looking to breathe new life into your PlayStation 3. Is The Awakened Fate Ultimatum a reason to put more time into your PS3 or is it time to look to the future of console gaming and skip this game all together?

Before NVIDIA’s Titan X made an abrupt unveiling during GDC 2015, NVIDIA’s GTX 980 was the most powerful graphics card using NVIDIA’s latest architecture, Maxwell.

Being one of the very few cards available currently on the market that will fully support Microsoft’s upcoming collection of APIs known as DirectX 12, NVIDIA’s GTX 980 is sure to provide enough power to last most PC gamers a healthy amount of time.

Sony's consoles have had their fair share of great twin stick shooters. Dead Nation, Resogun, and the Super Stardust series are all excellent twin stick shooters that have raised the bar for the genre in one way or another. The newest game in the genre, Helldivers, seeks to be included into the aforementioned list, but does it hold its own against the aforementioned games?

A lot of video games are total thrill rides. Emotional and mental roller coasters that take us on long epic journeys. So it is odd to think that there aren't many video games about actual thrill rides. Well Screamride is here from the creators of the most recent Roller Coaster Tycoon games is a game about building coasters, riding them, and oddly enough destroying buildings. So is Screamride a scream or a kids ride?

Let's be honest here, Sony's Playstation Vita has been severely lacking games for the last couple of years. Sure there have been some pretty solid games in that time span, but most other games have been extremely underwhelming. That brings us to HtoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diaries, a brand new puzzle platformer. Is The Firefly Diaries the game that finally breathes new life in the Vita or is it just another disappointing game?

The Monster Hunter franchise is easily one of my favorite franchises of all time. Since the first installment on the PlayStation 2, the series has become well known for its numerous weapons, cooperative multiplayer, monumental monsters, and steep learning curves. Monster has since had iterations on the PlayStation Portable, Wii, Wii U, and the 3DS. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the series' sophomore installment on Nintendo's portable and comes with several new monsters, weapons, and many more features. Do these new features attribute to the 3DS' adding another fantastic game to its catalog or should it be forgotten and left in the dust?
